Alright thanks! Should I focus it on how different medical care is at all or should I just keep it more broad and talk about everyday life? I could probably even relate something like how I'd be better prepared to treat someone from this country/culture due to being engulfed in it for so long and knowing their customs/beliefs? Or is that not something appropriate to say/imply considering I have no medical training. Also an example of this I could mention is I was shadowing a doctor and an elderly lady from this country came in and she couldn't understand him and I was actually able to translate for her and let her know what was going on and explain what was happening (she was super confused by who the doctor was and who the nurse was and who the medical assistant was because in the other country it's not set up this way).

Please people, not everything needs to be about Medicine. Spread the word.

Haha ok sounds good. I didn't relate any of my activities to medicine except the clinical ones obviously so didn't think it would be too bad here but I'll stick to avoiding it and see how it goes
